Parasitic Clutch is cast by Parasitoid Sha which are found in the water surrounding Lei Shi's platform. You just need to jump into the water and they attach onto your face!

Comment by Etsi

Just to add some extra info to what has been said:

The Parasitoid Sha that you need are found in the water below Lei Shi's platform. There are less than 10 in the water, but they will respawn after a short while. Hitting them with any attack will make them run for you, and they will then attach themselves to a player upon coming in contact with them.

These Sha have around 2 million HP (10 man) and can be damaged, so because of this I would suggest having ranged take the parasites first, then letting melee/tanks pick up parasites later into the fight. The best time to do this is during the Hide phase.

Arranging raid cooldowns for the Get Away! phase is strongly recommended, especially when everyone has a parasite on them, as the incoming damage will be a lot more than what it usually is.

Also, bear in mind that dying, or using any immunity effects (such as Divine Shield or Ice Block) will cause the parasite to detach from you, and go for someone else.

Comment by Ponkana

Track Elementals can help, so your hunters can call out if the parasites have respawned. It will be more convenient than trying to look for one.

We did this on 10man, it spawns either on the bottom left or bottom right water area outside of Lei Shi's platform (Facing towards the Sha of Fear)

Here is what we did when this achievement was next in line for us:

For majority of the fight, we did what we normally do to get this boss down, dealing with her specials and dealing with the waves of adds every 20% hp that is shaved off on the boss. Once the last wave of adds had spawned (when the boss reaches 20% hp), EVERYONE would stop attacking and get all their pets on passive, and only the one tank (at a time) needed to keep threat on her would even have her as his target.

We would send 2 raiders who could use immunities such as cloak, pala bubble or similar, to get the first two Parasitoid Sha - they would bring their mobs to close to a tank each (without, ofc, standing in front of the boss because of Spray), then pop their immunity so the mob would be dropped and could jump onto a tank each. It is also helpful if someone can use the same method to get a mob onto at least one of the healers, as that means the healer won't have to stress about finding an add, but can focus on healing :)

Then everyone else (including those two first raiders) would jump in the waters or move down the stairs to get their separate mobs clutch to them. The trickiest thing during this phase was to not have people do any damage to the mobs, nor the boss. Once everyone had a mob clutched to them, we popped TW (not really needed) and had everyone go full out with single target attacks only on the boss.

We had to deal with her Get Away, which meant we would have the guys who had already picked up their mob shave off the 4% hp needed to get her out of that ability, the others would focus on picking up adds.

Be very careful not to have anyone pop immunities after all raiders have their adds, as that can cause the achievement to fail if they then do not have an add attached as the boss dies.

Good luck, everyone!

Deaths and setup

We had 1 dps that died and lost his Parasitoid Sha , he got ressed and got another Parasitoid Sha. We all got the achviement, This means that it doesn't mather if you die or not, just get a new Parasitoid Sha on your head.

Comment by Azoran

A helpful tip that helped my group get this achievement is that if a person who already has the debuff on them pulls another add, it will instead run to the nearest player that doesn't have the debuff, this is very helpful for getting the debuff up on the tanks, as it means they don't have to move and can keep tanking the boss normally, we actually only had 2 dps constantly pulling the adds and they eventually debuffed every player.

Comment by Kptch

Confirmed today: This does not require a full group.

Comment by Hawkyyy

For people attempting this in 5.4 you need to be careful of your legendary cloak and any AoE your group has. The adds only have 1.9mill HP and we had 3 nearly die on our attempt.

Comment by maely

Here is one obvious tip and two not-so-obvious tips that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet:

1.) Prepull, yes everyone needs to take off their DPS legendary cloaks. Put on PVP cloaks instead if you have them. Hunter pets should be on passive. Check your talents because you may need to spec out of something like Rolling Blood that passively causes AOE damage.

2.) The no-AOE limitation complicates the Hide phases because normally you would use AOE to draw her out of hide. To handle this, have all of your Sha-infested people run to the center for Hide so that your "healthy" people can run around, use limited AOE, and draw her out of Hide earlier. However, if everyone has a Sha-infestation, don't be afraid to sit there and wait out the Hide phase (takes like 30 seconds). The enrage timer on the fight is not an issue.

3.) Once she starts, Lei Shi will not stop pulsing Get Back (AOE damage and pushback) until your raid deals 5% of damage to her health. This means that you can't really wait until 20% before you start bringing Shas up to infest people (because a couple Get Back phases at that point will mean the end of the fight...). Rather, you should bring the Shas up constantly and as soon as they spawn. Assuming a group with several SoO-geared people, Lei Shi will be pretty low on health when all 10 people become Sha-infested anyway.

4.) Also, the two spawn locations for the Parasitoid Shas are below Lei Shi's platform, in the water to the right and left of the staircase leading up to her platform from Tsulong's platform. The Shas spawn fairly slowly once the fight begins, but sometimes two will come up at the same time.

Comment by Alfa

Easier to do with less people as a full group isn't needed.

I did it with 1 tank 1 heal 3 dps.

Pew pew boss down to 25% and everyone get their parasites in the water, then no AOE. Heroism and pew pew the final 25% when everyone has theirs.

Managed to solo this as a dk, wait until she reaches low hp and wait for the get away special then quickly run down and taunt 1 then run up and start smacking her.

Comment by Grummulthrus

Strong solo classes can do this alone in 6.2, but there's RNG dependence on casts of Get Away!. Two reasons: (1) The stacking debuff. Even a geared tank won't survive this indefinitely; at ilvl 700 it becomes a one-shot at ~80 stacks.(2) If she can't target a players with Spray, she'll evade and heal.

If you're soloing, only grab Parasitoid Sha during Get Away!. Returning to the platform is a total nuisance. Don't try to cheese this by leaving a minion or e.g. Black Ox statue behind; it will not work.

Note on Creature Health. On 10N, post-stat-squish, Parasitoid Sha have 55k health. In 6.2 gear levels, your AOE will kill one in at most 2-3 hits. Abilities like Keg Smash are almost guaranteed to one-shot it.

Take off all your HFC tier gearTake off soul capGlyph lava lash to not spread flame shockBurst the boss as much as you can before "get away"Pick up the parasite and use defensives Kill the boss

Comment by naturalhighz

Worth noting is that as a dk you don't weant to use necrotic plague as it jumpos to them and kills them.

Comment by Rulkster

We did it on 10 N with 5 people but it seems that if you are on a mount when the combat starts parasitoid shas tend to not clutch your face, instead they go to attack the closest raid member. I can't be sure if it is a thing but we wiped twice because of this, so i recommed make sure everyone is dismounted before you pull the boss.

Comment by Brakkis

To anyone still working on getting this achievement as of 6.2 - Anyone who starts the fight with Lei Shi while mounted will be bugged and the Parasitoid Sha will not attach to your character. Just make sure that all members of the raid are dismounted before you pull the boss.

Comment by Betonkocka

On level 110 use single target ability only or you can one shot Parasitoid Sha.

Don't go too far from Lei Shi or the fight will reset.

Comment by Thalloren

Something seems to be wrong with this right now. Every time I try to kill Lei Shi, even using all single-target abilities and pet on Passive, the Parasitoid Sha *always* dies right before I kill Lei Shi. It can survive the entire fight without taking any damage, but it will always die right before the killing blow.

Anyone else have this problem right now?

Comment by Boxofbeer

To earn this achievement you have to visit Terrace of Endless Spring raid instance, and find there third boss - Lei Shi. When the fight start, check pools around boss platform, there will spawn Parasitoid Sha mobs. Get close to it and allow jump onto your head. Now you have to defeat the boss, but use no any aoe skills as they kill the parasite.

Comment by Vrobrolf

Paladins:Using Divine Steed will trigger the same bug where the Parasitoid Sha won't attach to your face. Don't use it during the fight.

Comment by Diodor

If you are trying to solo this pay attention that many of your abilities will kill the little add. For instance as a paladin I had an issue where mob was dying from:1. crusader strike2. judgement3. auto attacks4. unarmed attacksOnly think that worked was holy shock which i used at the end to nuke the boss down.So do your own testing. Pick the parasite at the start of the fight and attack the boss. Check if the add is still alive or not. He needs to be on your head when boss reaches 1% hp.

Comment by JoserraGamin

Just a reminder, as many classes have abilities that attack multiple targets at the same time, try to focus on using only the single target ones. Also, be careful when you kill the adds to not get the Parasite as target. I did it as ret paladin as shown in this short video. I avoided using Judgement, and tried to use only Crusader Strike, Blade of Justice and Templar's Veredict. I hope it helps ;)

Comment by Psyberomega

Just tried to solo this on my Pala. When I managed to pick up a face Clutcher and went back towards the steps, Lei Shei disappeared.

Tried on my rogue because of sprint and same thing.

So I logged my hunter:

Planted my pet in front of Lei on passive and redirected to it with one shot.

Went and picked up my clutcher while Lei was busy hitting my pet.

Came back to the platform, shot Lei again and dismissed my pets (was in BM) just in case the game decided they needed clutchers too.

I then killed Lei and got the achievement.

So if you're going just for this achievement. I recommend a pet class. And as others have stated here, stick to single target abilities.

Comment by TheZoog

Maybe some of these tips might help. This is one of those RNG fights. You can taunt the parasite to attach to you. Once the parasite is attached to you, it can take damage and die from Lei Shi's Spray (frost damage), which is supposed to only affect players within 2.5 yards but has an infinite range, and they can also die from Get Away (shadow damage). I think it is the boss that is killing the parasite in most attempts for you guys and not your cleaves, because most of those attacks are cone attacks that go out from you and wouldn't kill something on your face.

If you don't position yourself against a pillar or steps for Get Away, then Lei Shi WILL blow you all the way back to the steps by the portal. If you use a speed boost during Get Away, not only is it worthless (it just keeps you in one spot rather than gaining ground), but the parasite disattaches from you and begins attacking and you can't taunt it back onto your face. More annoyances: the parasites only appear in the water once the fight starts, and even then they ony appear maybe 50% of the time. I just ran out and reset until they appeared. When you go down to get one, the adds and Lei Shi herself will follow you down there and now you are getting hit by melee which also seems to kill the parasite. If she uses Get Away when you are in the water, then you will not be able to get back up to the platform to find the hidden add and she disappears and the fight will not always reset properly. If this happened to me, I left the instance, started a raid in Group Finder > Premade Groups > Raids Legacy, then to be safe convert to raid, click on my icon upper left corner and "reset instances". You might have to convert to Heroic and then back to Normal before resetting.

This is an easily doable fight in 10normal, just need some luck and pre-strat.

Comment by GazaC76

Easy enough to solo. Best way was to make sure that when he shifts in to the phase where he can blow you off the platform, let him, then run up the steps with Murky on your head and kill him.

Comment by Shadowfrogi

We did this Achievement yesterday with 9 man and had first 3 tries the problem that they wont stick at somepeople and started attacking them instead and we did it without using any movement speed changing spell. Then we tried twice with running out of instance and not even using a mount in the instance itself and both times they jumped on everyones head and we had no Problems.So I guess If it happens that they are not getting on your head run out and run in without mounting and see If works too. Not 100% confirmed

Comment by Rhiziana

Did this today as a 965 MM hunter on NM without any trouble, last one i needed for the glory, first try he despawned because i was not on the platform, i summoned my pet and let him go in first, jumped down in the water and swam into a parasite, ran back up and nuked her into orbit and got the achie

Comment by gunsotsu

unfortunately it doesn't appear this achievement is possible at level 110 as the parasitic sha will not give you the debuff..

Comment by gunsotsu

EVEN THOUGH THIS IS PART OF THE META STILL..this achievement is SEMI-IMPOSSIBLE to do AT MAX LEVEL. you basically have to rely on the fluke chance that the parasite attaches. then you have about 30-40 seconds before it randomly detaches. BARELY ACHIEVABLE AT 110 due to avoidance. if you wish to do this achievement you will either need to keep your character at 110 and hope you get the parasite to attatch by random luck OR join a 90 twink group. another viable option is to petition blizzard to remove this from the meta achievement entirely, like they did with the previous two achieves.

Comment by Baratheo

Did this today on my warrior and had no problem getting it. Took the boss town to 30% or so, jumped into the water and with my back turned to the parasite, it latched on. Then ran out the water and killed the boss.
